Dreaming is most commonly associated with REM sleep, not immediately upon entering Stage 1 sleep. Stage 1 sleep is a light sleep from which it's easy to be awakened. Dreams, especially vivid dreams, are more likely to occur during REM sleep, which happens after you've progressed through the earlier stages of sleep.
